An industrial designer's work many times is taking the invention - the prototype and working it into a design that is marketable. If you have seen the 1983 movie Brainstorm, Natalie Wood's character in it was pretty much an industrial designer. In Mead's case. sometimes he comes up with...

A scratch-built i'72 scale model of "Lockheed Stealth Fighter" of which flateric posted the drawings from Sweetman's Stealth Aircraft book has come into the collection of the Greater St. Louis Air & Space Museum. A local member of an IPMS Chapter was commissioned to build the model for the...

Is it just me, or does that look like a not accurate prop?

We have those issues at the Museum. I will get the issues to Mark Nankivil to scan the articles for you. That is, if you still need them.

I saw this one on an IMAX screen and that is the way to see it. The opening shot - you are in a car riding next to the Crawler as it is moving and you are looking up at the Saturn V on its way to the pad. And it gets better from there. If you do get a chance to see it in a theater, do stay for...

My reaction to The Orville is that I come away from watching an episode of that feeling like I have watched a new episode of the original series of Star Trek. I have yet to see an episode of Discovery and I have no desire to see it soon. On DS9. The pilot for that one did not do much for me...

I have mixed feelings about important one of a kind historical aircraft being flown. Seeing it fly can be exciting but why risk losing it?

I first saw Star Wars back when it was just that - Star Wars. I loved it, but I also came to expect some things to not make sense in that universe. I can enjoy watching the pretty things explode while watching the latest movies, but it all falls when I start thinking about what I saw. The worst...

My first impression on seeing the "suit" is that it looks like a harness for wire work (pre-water tank thinking for Zero-G simulation) and it is what ever systems are in that helmet that are being tested. With no neck protection and just shirt sleeves on his arms, that does not look like a...

It seems that they are grounded in the U.S. now https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-grounds-737-max-jets-boeing-shares-fall-again/ar-BBUI8SG?OCID=ansmsnnews11

I've stayed away from this thread for a while, but I've decided to talk about this now that the third movie is out. I feel that John Powell's music for the three "How To Train Your Dragon" movies is some of the best out there in the current batch pf film scores. When I used to work for a hobby...

F-4 #12200 has been a favorite aircraft of mine for some time. Here is a link to Ron Downey's Aviation Archives article on this bird. http://aviationarchives.blogspot.com/2015/02/yf-4e-62-12200-fly-by-wire.html

If the aircraft is going to a non airline customer, the tail could be left blank. And the registration could be a temporary one owned by the manufacturer used for shakedown and delivery flights. This could be why the phone apps can't identify the aircraft - today the reg is on a 777, and next...

One possibility could be that it was a 'Green' aircraft during transit to the facility that will fit the interior and do the exterior painting for the customer. We see 'Green' aircraft at KCPS all the time as the Gulfstream facility there does this work for bizjet class aircraft. Note: the term...

To answer Paul's question. The painting had been displayed in the Museum, but someone moved it and placed it in a place where it got water damaged. I've been redoing the painting with what I feel is a stronger background. I'll be posting the redone painting when I get it finished. I have also...

Something I wondered about when I took those first four pictures was the accuracy of the markings. Air Force "Buzz" Numbers on a Navy aircraft? And, in a location where they couldn't be seen by an observer on the ground?

Something a few members of this group might not know about but would like to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(Vangelis_album) The release date is September 23, 2016

This seems to be the place for this. I don't know enough about this site to fully rely on its reporting. However. This odd article does have some useful details on the development of the Mercury and Apollo suits. Note the bit about the 'Mini-me' (child sized) Mercury suits made by B.F...

This photographic print of some McDonnell Douglas Harrier concept art came into the Museum in a recent donation. No information of the designation, or model number, but the date stamped on the back is Oct. 26, 1970, and it has a McDonnell Douglas negative number.

Don't forget Airwolf. :)
